NPOXERXZR_YEV ZON Ceramic Chip Capacitors by KOA SPEER ELECTRONICS, INC.

Category: Capacitors, Electronics, KOA Speer Electronics Inc

Overview

The NPOXERXZR_YEV ZON series represents a range of high-performance ceramic chip capacitors manufactured by KOA Speer Electronics, Inc., which are particularly notable for their high Q factor, low temperature coefficient (TC.C), and high capacitance values reaching up to 100 pF. These capacitors are designed to be environmentally friendly with lead-free terminations that fully comply with the EU RoHS requirements.

Dimensions and Construction

The capacitors are available in several case sizes, including 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, and 1210, with the dimensions tailored to each size, specified in both inches and millimeters. Each capacitor features a ceramic body with electrodes and a solder plating of tin (Sn). Additionally, they include a silver metallization plating to ensure reliable connectivity.

Ordering Information

Ordering these capacitors requires an understanding of their part numbering system that reflects various attributes of the components. The new part numbering starts with the series name, followed by the case size (e.g., 0805), and several other specifications:

Termination Material: Indicated by “T”, referring to tin (Sn).
Dielectric: The dielectric types available are listed, such as NPO, XSR, X7R, and YSV.
Size: The case sizes available are 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, and 1210.
Voltage: A range of voltage ratings from 6.3V (K) up to 200V (J) are offered.
Packaging: Available packaging options include 7″ paper tape, 7″ embossed plastic, 13″ paper tape, and 13″ embossed plastic. The pitch information, such as 2mm pitch for the 0402 size, specifies tape packaging details.
Capacitance: The labeling considers the first two significant digits and the number of following zeros, with an “R” to indicate a decimal point where necessary.
Tolerance: The tolerance range provided includes precise percentages and variations from +0.1pF up to +80, -20%.

Certifications and Contact Information

The datasheet advises that specifications can change without prior notice and encourages users to verify technical specifications before ordering or using the capacitors. Contact details are provided for KOA Speer Electronics, Inc., located in Bradford, PA, including their phone and fax numbers as well as their website for further inquiries.

Technical Specifications

Towards the end of the first two pages, the manufacturers note that for more detailed packaging information, readers should refer to Appendix B. This implies additional technical details are found beyond the initial pages of the datasheet and underscores the importance of reviewing the complete document for comprehensive understanding.
